Seamless Integration for the Future Forecourt
Thank you to all participants, speakers, sponsors and partners!
Our 2022 Annual Conference, which took place on 15-16 November, gathered international representatives and key actors from the forecourt industry in the beautiful city of Prague. IFSF would like to thank all attendees, speakers and sponsors for their active participation in this year’s conference. The event allowed all delegates to network again following two years of virtual conferences – and we believe it was a resounding success.
The theme of this year’s conference was Seamless Integration for the Future Forecourt. IFSF put together yet another exciting speaker line-up for the event including high-profile representatives from major Retailers, Technology Suppliers and other related Standards organisations. The topics covered highlighted the importance of standards in the key areas that are impacting our industry including the transition to alternative fuels, the use of APIs, the importance of automation and AI, and the benefits of Cloud computing. More information on the programme, as well as all presentations given during the conference, is available here.
Recordings are now available to IFSF members here.
